the Execution of the said Warrant Suggesting that the said Mrs. Roper (being
called in the said Supersedeas Sarah Roper< no role > ) had the same day given
Sufficient Sureties before him for her Personall Appearance at the then
next Generall Quarter Sessions of the Peace to be holden for the said County at
Hickshall to answer the said Complaint whereby We observe that Francis
Watlin the Principle in the said Felony was to be tryed or discharged at the next
Generall Sessions, but the said Sarah Roper< no role > as accessary not bound to appear
untill the Quarter Sessions after, but the Recognizance being demanded by the
Court at the next Generall Sessions it was accordingly returned in by the said Mr.
Newton a Copy whereof it also hereunto annexed certifying that the said Sarah Roper< no role >
together with her Sureties became bound therein before the said Mr. Newton on the 19th.
day of the same Month of November for the Personall Appearance of the said Sarah
Roper at the then present Generall Sessions of the Peace holden in December last
for the said County at Hickshall whereby it appears how much the said Recognizance
varies from the Supersedeas both in date and Sessions and in the said December
Sessions the said Francis Watlin< no role > and the said Sarah Roper< no role > were both indicted
for the Felonies aforesaid.

It further appeareth unto us that Mr. Newton did grant a Licence for the Selling
Ale and other Liquors to one Samuel Green< no role > in the Hamlett of Wapping Stepney in the
said County, being one of the disorderly houses of the New Mint and who had been
refused a Licence by Bastwick Johnson< no role > Esquire one of his Majestyes Justices of
the Peace living in the said Hamlett and the nearest to the said Alehouse and
Consequently the best acquainted and so last able to Judge whether the said
House ought to be Licenced.

And the said Mr. Newton being present before us and required to answer the Premisses
but not giving any tolerable answer or shewing any sufficient reason why he
discharged the said Edward Lloyd< no role > out of New Prison or why he Superseded the
Execution of the said Warrant against the said Sarah Roper< no role > as aforesaid We
are of Opinion that the said Mr. Newton hath Committed a great Misdemeanour
in so doing and in Licencing an Alehouse the same being refused by
another Justice of the Peace Wherefore and for that a Complaint hath
been formerly laid before the late Lord Chancellor against the said Mr.
Newton by< no role > the Chairman in the Name and on the behalf of the Body of
the Justices of the Peace of this County for discharging one Edmund Juby< no role >
out of New Prison aforesaid whom he had Committed thither for assaulting
one John Owen< no role > on the Kings Highway and feloniously taking from
him a Silver Watch Value Eight pounds, five broad peices of Gold each
of them value twenty three shillings and three shillings in Silver to be there
Safely Kept untill from thence discharged by due course of Law, which
discharge the Court of Generall Sessions did think to be illegall.

We thought it our Duty from the great regard We have to the
due Administration of Publick Justice to lay this present
Representation of the Matters aforesaid before your Lordpps
to the Intent that such Redress may be had in the Premisses
as to your Lordshipps wisdome shall seem meet.
